I own the 4000 ED and owned the SS4000. It was a mistake. The Polaroid is a better scanner. The only advantage of the Nikon is ICE. Dust isn't as big a problem on the Polaroid. The edge softness IS there.
Keep the Polaroid. Tom Funny you should mention it. I am considering whether to return my scanner purchased two weeks ago to CDW and upgrade to a scanner with an IR channel. I have over 500 slides that were made between 1964 and 1970. They are not in very good condition at all. Paid $769 at CDW and have not yet sent in rebate. The Nikon supercoolscan 4000 ED is what I have in mind. Those edge softness reports bug me though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe' in the title or body
